About
Hi, I’m Lev Working, a passionate game developer and creative writer with hands-on experience in 3D visualization, gameplay programming, and leading game development teams. I’ve worked on projects that range from programming runtime tools to designing immersive gameplay features and narrative-driven strategy games. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and turning creative ideas into engaging experiences.
Currently, I’m honing my skills through various internships and leadership roles, including a gameplay programmer position at Black Swan Studios and leading a student creative team for an award-winning strategy game. I’m always eager to learn, iterate, and push the boundaries of storytelling and game design through clear documentation, playtesting, and teamwork.
